Xbox 360′s New Dashboard Update: Preview before Release

We have some good news for Xbox 360 owners now, as we can confirm that an update to the Xbox 360 dashboard is on the way soon. We have a image preview to show you now, giving you an idea on how the changes will look on release.

According to this report from Joystiq, Microsoft are expected to release the new dashboard update sometime in November this year. The screenshots originated from French website Logic-Sunrise, but were since taken down after Microsoft’s request.

If you want to get a sneak peek at how the update will look, you can see an image of the homepage over at Joystiq. New changes include a horizontal layout compared to the current slanted layout, and other menu changes which will relate to the release of Kinect, also in November.

What are your thoughts on the changes? Do you prefer the new horizontal interface or not?
